The family dynamic is one of the best things about TMNT. It's called character development. If I don't care about the characters, I don't become invested in their lives, their stuggles, their story. A cool fight becomes 10 times cooler if you know WHY the characters are fighting because there is an emotional investment for the character and the audience. That is what makes a truly satisfying viewing/reading experience in my opinion, not some surface "pop-corn flick" entertainment. I want my characters to make me "feel" as well as kick butt. Anything less than that, is unsatifying like something is missing, and usually isn't worth repeat viewing.
